How to Adjust the Strap on your Dr Scholls...
For all of you ladies wanting to adjust the straps on your beautiful Dr Scholls to make them fit tighter... First take the left shoe and face it forward. Bend the wide leather BENEATH the buckle (i.e. pinching the top and bottom part tightly together). Now pull/slide the buckle to the left. & VOILA! Pretty smooth right?! There is no need to bend or break the buckle! Do the same with the right shoe except this time you must slide the buckle out to the right... That's it! Enjoy your shoes ladies! I sure do! Love'em! Love'em! Love'em!

Great sandals helped my backache (REVISED)
.
If your back hurts while standing, you may want to try these sandals.

As a young mother of three, I found that WHENEVER I wore these sandals my chronic backache improved greatly, but they disappeared off the shelves and I was unable to buy them for decades. Now, as a GRANDmother of three, my back has been causing more pain than ever. I was so happy to find the sandals right here at good old Amazon! I've been standing for hours, and my back hurts much less now. They're wonderful. (I gave them only 4 stars because of the rough leather used in the lining of the strap. See below.)

NOTE: They do require a break-in period, so be prepared to wear them for short periods at first.

FOR THOSE WHO FIND THE SANDALS RUB: First of all, if they hurt, TAKE THEM OFF. Don't wait till you get blisters. For some reason, the inner lining of the straps is made of sueded leather--not too soft. (They were always made this way; I used to sandpaper them.) This doesn't bother everyone, but if it's bothering you, try lining them with DURAPORE SURGICAL TAPE (in the 2-inch size; available through your pharmacist). Just stick it on and cut the tape around the strap to fit. As you cut, you may see a little edge of tape sticking out from the strap; just press it up against the edge of the leather; the tape will stay on better. You can also try MOLESKIN (in the foot-care aisle of your supermarket), it really makes them feel great, but doesn't stick as well as the tape.

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF BETWEEN SIZES (one hole is too tight, the next too loose): Try using the smaller hole, but wear them with socks until the leather stretches. Start with one sock and if they're still too small, you can wear more than one sock.

IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BUCKLE, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG! Just pinch the wider part, under the buckle--don't be afraid to hurt it. You are making a fold in the leather. Once you get it right, the buckle just slips right off the pin. Same thing to get the buckle back on.

Are the sandals worth all this trouble? Even if you don't get backaches, YES. (My daughter found them so comfortable, I had to get her a pair.)

Here's how you loosen the buckle...
Love, love LOVE these shoes. They have been a staple in my summer shoe wardrobe for 30 years! When I was a teen I could only get them in the drug stores. When I saw them for $3.00/pair one summer in the late 70s, I anticipated they were going out of style, so I bought 10 pair and gingerly wore them (and wore them out) for the next 20 years! Luckily they are back, but still hard to find to purchase.

For the ladies who are having difficulty loosening the buckle, here's how I do it: Sitting, place the left shoe face up in between your knees. Grasp the rounded end of the leather with your right thumb/forefinger and hold tight. With your left hand, SLIDE the buckle to your left, enough to clear the post sticking through the grommet. If it's a little stiff, put a drop of household oil in between the buckle and grommet. This should be enough to lift the leather over the post and adjust your shoe. Repeat the procedure for the right shoe. Don't give up...they're too nice of a shoe not to wear.
